Pat Lawlor Pins
« on: October 02, 2008, 08:14:09 PM »
Been reading a thread on RGP about "Where is Pat". Got me thinking, looked at his games list and realised that he's been designing games for exactly 20 years this year! So I started a poll in his honour! :) OK, my favorite is Funhouse. There's just something about Rudy that makes me smile every time! I like the fair amount of open playfield, something I missed in later games. let us know what you think....

I like Addams - hate TZ.

I hear RBION is very similar in layout to TZ. Can anyone confirm?

The Addams Family for me ..... I love the theme, the music, the gameplay .... and a bit of nostalgia too, I remember playing this machine when it was first released and I was blown away. Lucky for me I had the opportunity to play a brand new one - wow  #.#

I've gone for Addams as I just enjoy the entire "package". The art, gameplay, toys and playfield layout. Just a really great pinball.

I have not played all his titles - But I certainly do not like Safecracker (sorry Mark!) or No Good Gophers..

Still not convinced with TZ.

I played Funhouse at Silverball's house and enjoyed it immensely.

I went with Banzai Run... mainly 'cos I think the upright playfield is a novel idea, and I've never completed the upper section. Second would be TZ and Funhouse tied. Not a fan of Addams (sorry guys!). Just goes to show that it is a personal taste thing...

Has anyone here got a Banzai Run by the way? Love that game! It would be my number 2, followed by TAF. I'm also in the don't like TZ much camp - bought a nice one, did it up until it was perfect, couldn't play past ball one after a few months, kept turning it off to go and play other games. I think its the clutter, way too much covered real estate for me.

Does that mean that if I was to buy a TAF, you wouldn't service it for me?  #$#

I to am not a big fan of TAF, I get over it too quickly.  Gotta go with the TZ, it is a little cluttered but is a fantastic vision of what can be done with a pin, great all round package. My second is Bansai, again a great idea, a complete vertical playfield in the backbox, and of course the dirtbike theme grabs my attention.
I haven't been a huge fan of his latest games but I think he was on a winner with Family Guy, really enjoyed the intergration with piss funny quotes, fart multiball, and the fantastic mini playfield

You finished that game yet Matt? I have been hanging out for a game of TZ (to see if I like it now that it's been gone a while).

Nah, still cleaning :D getting closer though. When I'm done I'll get you and Nuggy over as my moving crew, from the shed to the rumpus. Payment will be in the form of a few games, might even offer you a beer *)*
